With out a stunning centrepiece for her Table? Esp in those extra special times of need when you cant afford real fruit, and after all whats fruit with out a bit of sparkle?

items of choice - pasta, pom poms and pipe cleaners (sparkly ones!)My basket - made of woven macaroni with the half circles for decoration all spray painted gold. It has a cork bottom and the side supports - after much trial of different materials are skewersFruit - sequins pins Styrofoam shapes - with simple shaping (and a very sore thumb and numb bum) and pipe cleaners (apple orange and pear)pom poms and pipecleaners and strawberry's with felt ( grapes, strawberry's, Cherry's) and just pipe cleaners for the banana

easter grass (was to be original banana) was used to add some height to the fruit in the basket
